- posse - I don't know why, it's just a GREAT word. (Plus, it totally rocks in the free credit report dot com commercials: "my legs are sticking to the dash and my posse's getting laughed at." Funny funny. Great word) Here is my favorite definitions: A gang involved in crimes such as running guns and illegal narcotics trafficking. But it also means a group of friends or associates.
- entourage - never seen the show, but once again, GREAT word. It has an air of importance about it. (Don't you have to be fairly important to have an entourage...kind of like a celebrity...kind of like me...) Just think about it. Defintion: the group following and attending to some important person
- chums - it's kind of old school. reminds me of my chums/mates over in New Zealand. (Remember Graham, Gina??)
- peeps - Well, this one works with my little birdie header. (and it's short for people. I call people people all the time... he, he.)
- outkasts - REALLY KADON GET A BLOG! I can't have an outkast section until I can put you in there...everyone else might get offended.
Honestly, the biggest debate is posse vs. entourage. I might use both, one for friends, one for family.... But which for which? Sound off (that's cool talk for leave me a comment and let me know.)
my vote... none, or neither. Maybe I don't get the whole picture of the purpose of this word... perhaps coterie is appropriate... www. dictionary.com has some great deffinitions including something about prairie dogs. :D Then again, when did my opinion ever matter.
ReplyDeleteWell between entourage and posse I would say entourage simply because Tracy Morgan uses it and I have a lot of jokes involving the word entourage. Also posse reminds me of a bunch of cartoon characters you would see on Nickelodeon. However, for you I would use krew (yes with a k). It's possibly the most wangster word you can use in this situation.
